Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

Su Yang immediately turned around and pulled Lin Anlan away, afraid that if they stayed any longer, they would be recognized and cause a lot of trouble.

"Why are we leaving? Did you see clearly?" Lin Anlan asked, following behind Su Yang, puzzled. She hadn't even seen what was posted on the notice board before she was inexplicably pulled away.

"Let's talk about it later, let's go now." Su Yang paused for a moment, said in a low voice, and then continued forward.

After finally squeezing out of the crowd, Su Yang breathed a slight sigh of relief and then said to Lin Anlan, "That was my picture posted on that notice board. It seems I've been put on the wanted list again..."

"Ah!? How could this be?" Lin Anlan was extremely shocked. She believed that since entering the Tianyun Empire, the two of them had always abided by the law and had not done anything immoral. How come Su Yang was wanted again? And he had only been in Qingfeng County for a few days. It's true that when you're down on your luck, even drinking water can cause problems.

"What do we do now? Shall we go back to the inn and hide for a while?" Lin Anlan suggested after looking around.

"That's all we can do. Let's go back now."

Tang Tianlei returned to the Tang family home, dejected and sitting silently in the garden. Tang Wan, who had been following him ever since his return, saw her brother looking sullen and assumed he knew about her upcoming marriage. She went up to him and said:

"Brother, it seems you already know..."

Tang Tianlei looked up at his younger sister, Tang Wan, nodded silently, and then continued to gaze into the distance.

"Hey, don't be upset, maybe this is a good thing?" Tang Wan tried to comfort Tang Tianlei.

Upon hearing this, Tang Tianlei became even more annoyed and said somewhat displeasedly, "Good news? What good news could this be!"

"Why can't it be a good thing? Although you haven't met the daughter of the Commandant of Qingfeng County yet, the Commandant of Qingfeng County must be a very capable person. I heard that the Commandant of Qingfeng County has strict family discipline, and his daughter must be better than many people. She can be your good wife in the future."

"The daughter of the Prefectural Commandant? How is the Prefectural Commandant involved here? Wan'er, what are you talking about?" Tang Tianlei was completely dumbfounded and stood up, looking at Tang Wan with confusion.

"I meant..." Tang Wan suddenly realized that her brother wasn't upset about this matter. What else could be making him so upset? Originally, her father, Tang Guangquan, and the others had agreed to tell Tang Tianlei about this matter after the prefect had made up his mind and visited the family to arrange the engagement. But since the words had already been spoken, if they tried to hide it, her brother would probably see through it soon enough. So they decided to tell him everything.

"It's about the Commandant and Father discussing having you marry his daughter, Shi Yao'er. Father didn't want me to tell you this, he wanted to wait until the Commandant came to arrange the engagement before telling you."

"What!?" Tang Wan's words struck Tang Tianlei like a thunderbolt, the violent impact causing him to lose his balance and fall onto the stone bench.

"Brother, what's wrong?! Are you alright?" Tang Wan was shocked and quickly stepped forward to help him up. She continued, "I know you have your own pursuits and people you like. If you really don't want to, we can just find someone strong to help us stop them. I met a master under the maple tree a couple of days ago. I've already had someone draw his portrait today. If that doesn't work, we'll send someone to ask him for help."

Tang Tianlei waved his hand, indicating that he was fine. What he needed most right now was peace and quiet; the series of unexpected events was simply too much for him to handle. After a long while, Tang Tianlei slowly asked, "Why can't Father help me refuse this marriage proposal?"

“Alas, how would I know what Father was thinking? He just told me that Shi Junwei is both a capable and ruthless man. If we marry him, the Tang family’s foundation will be able to rise to a higher level, and your career will be smoother in the future. Similarly, with the support of the Tang family, Shi Junwei’s promotion is only a matter of time. According to Father, this is called mutual support.” Tang Wan said truthfully.

"Complementary? Heh..." Tang Tianlei couldn't help but smile wryly after hearing this: "They really are complementary..."

Seeing Tang Tianlei's state, Tang Wan couldn't bear it: "Brother, if you really don't want to marry the Commandant, I will definitely support you. I heard that Shi Yao'er is a troublemaker who does whatever he wants. I thought you already knew about this, so I advised you to accept it."

Tang Tianlei pondered for a long time, then thought of Jin Yang'er, who was being forced into marriage with a local powerful family. He thought for a moment and said, "Since Yang'er wrote to me, she probably doesn't want to marry into that powerful family and is seeking my help. In that case, I must help her."

So he made up his mind and asked Tang Wan, "How powerful is that expert you mentioned?"

"I don't know exactly how powerful he is, but I witnessed his flying skills with my own eyes that day. His proficiency is unmatched by ordinary people, and his flying speed is extremely fast. I think that based on this alone, his elemental rank should have already reached the sixth level." Tang Wan recalled her experience that day.

"Sister, I need your help. Here's what we'll do: we'll send someone to find the expert you mentioned, but we can't put all our eggs in one basket. I'll also recruit a team of orange-level adventurers from the Adventurers' Guild to increase our chances of winning."

"Brother, it's just a matter of rejecting the engagement on the day itself. Do we really need so many people to help?" Tang Wan asked, puzzled.

"Not only will I refuse the marriage, I'll also snatch her away," Tang Tianlei said firmly before going to make preparations.

Inside the prefectural commandant's residence, Shi Yao'er took the opportunity of Xiao Luo bringing her food to quietly ask, "Xiao Luo, has the letter been delivered?"

"It's delivered, miss."

"Okay, it's good that it's delivered." Shi Yao'er thought to herself, with Brother Sanshi's quick wit, even though I didn't say it directly, he definitely wouldn't be indifferent. He would definitely make some arrangements outside. So she continued to Xiao Luo, "Xiao Luo, starting tomorrow, you will still do the same thing, three times a day, morning, noon and evening, waiting under the maple tree for the person I asked you to deliver the message to. Establish a way to exchange information with him, such as arranging a time or place. Remember, you must not let Father know, understand?"

"Understood, Miss. Do I need to go today?"

"Go, of course we have to go. I heard Father has already drawn a portrait. Next time you see him, give him the portrait of the person we're looking for and tell him to kill that person. Also, tell me any news as soon as possible. In addition, we can't just wait. Go find a few powerful elementalists and find the person according to the portrait Father posted. Make sure to kill him before Father does!" Shi Yao'er's eyes revealed a ruthless glint, which made Xiao Luo tremble involuntarily.

Thus, due to an unintentional act, Su Yang unwittingly became the target of three parties' search. However, two parties wanted to kill him, while one party wanted to drag him onto the dueling stage. No matter which party found him, his life would be in danger. At this moment, Su Yang was still staying in the inn, hiding from the investigation.
